Unpacking John Owen Through the Voices of Church History
John Owen (1616-1683), a major figure in church history, has left an indelible impression on Christian theology. His depth of insight, devotional richness, and theological breadth have shaped the hearts and minds of laypeople, pastors, and scholars for generations. But what truly distinguishes Owen from his peers, and why does he continue to resonate through the centuries?
Owen Among the Theologians invites readers to examine the writings of Owen alongside those of other Christian thinkers from various eras and traditions. By putting Owen in fresh conversation with significant theologians who lived before and after him, this unique study offers a thorough theological study of specific themes such as the glory of Christ, communion with God, justification by faith, the perseverance of the saints, and much more. This compelling work not only helps readers gain a deeper understanding of Owen's theology but, ultimately, a greater love of the triune God.
